[help]

Not the entire team, but we met Vergilius and Charon? Also, a Saude and an Effie. Or at least Shoma, Isabel, and I met those last two.

[applebough]

[ Yuri slowly blinks. ]

I don't know who Saude and Effie are, but Vergilius and Charon...

[ ... ]

Rodya and Gregor would probably know more. I was only a hired help at some point for them, so I don't know too much about it. What happened with Baiken and Throne? I wasn't familiar with Throne's clothing, but Baiken's... did she get a hold of an EGO suit?

[riverbeans]

... Sorry, but my group was split up from them until the end. I didn't even know they and Ichiban were around until we met then.

But we did all have an E.G.O. I know that much.

[applebough]

[ Oh.

Yuri gets a wet paper towel. Is Charles full of gore and blood anywhere? Yuri can clean him a little. ]

What was yours, Charles?

[riverbeans]

[he probably did change clothes at least but taking a shower in his state didn't seem great so yeah there is probably still blood and glore on him.]

Mine was... Capote?

[applebough]

[ Time to clean that up! She doesn't seem taken aback by the fact that she has to clean the gore though... as opposed to cleaning the mess in the bathroom in day one. ]

... I can't think of any member who had Capote. It's possible that whatever scenario you landed in was either made up as a what-if moment, or something that happened in a time ahead of mine.

[riverbeans]

[YURI STOP CLEANING PEOPLE'S MESSES]

That makes sense. Isabel had Holiday and Shoma had Screwloose Wallop, if those are familiar?

[applebough]

[ me, closing my eyes in knowing who they belong to and screaming about who had them:

But Yuri shakes her head no. ]

... I haven't heard of those either.

[riverbeans]

[rip...]

Then it does seem like the E.G.O. assignments may have been random.

[applebough]

It could be, yes.

[ She stays quiet for a moment after letting her hand down--being finished with her cleaning. ]

... I'm sorry, Charles.

[riverbeans]

[he blinks.]

Why? You have nothing to apologize for, Yuri.

[applebough]

No, I do. I'm sorry that you had to experience The City for what it was and... I'm sorry that you turned into a sheep. That was my fault.

[riverbeans]

Oh. Well, honestly, being a sheep wasn't terrible, just very strange?

[applebough]

I didn't mean to...

[ She feels like wailing-- ]

I can't possibly imagine being safe on any level being a sheep in The City.

[riverbeans]

[he waves a hand!! NOOOO YURI DON'T FEEL BAD]

Really, you don't have to worry! I wasn't a sheep until we got out, actually.

[applebough]

[ She would have thought Charles the sheep would have been cute if she wasn't panicking about everyone else. ]

That's... so weird, but... alright.

[ She did not see those kisses. ]

I should put those things in places where I can't reach...

[riverbeans]

[turn him into a sheep again later, yuri]

If it helps you feel any better, I once used an item on someone by accident too.

[applebough]

[ She still does not feel better off of other people's suffering, but she smiles a little. ]

The senior members mentioned that they couldn't do anything about them either, so it really is quite... dangerous. I imagine it would be chaotic if it happened during trial.

[ good thing it can't ]

[riverbeans]

Haha... yeah. Well, I've been told there's one or two items out there in people's possession that, on the other hand, undo the effects, so we do have something if there's ever a true emergency.

[applebough]

[ !! ]

Oh, there are? I didn't think there would be one...

[ But she's so glad. At the same time, she seems a little nervous. ]

[riverbeans]

Yeah, one person told me about theirs. [a beat] You all right there, Yuri?

[applebough]

Oh, um...

[ Hm. ]

I'm keeping one for... self-defense reasons, so if it's able to be undone, I might have some trouble.

[riverbeans]

... Ah. That would be worrying.

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. She could be the murderer. Charles could be one too. But she tells him anyway. Charles is so easy to trust despite everything and so easy to talk to... ]

But I got a practice sword too, so I'll be diligent in protecting myself.

Oh, speaking of which... I planted the river bean inside a pot. Could you tell me the details in how to care for it?

[riverbeans]

Ohhh, congraulations—on both things. Sorry we didn't get around to sparring this week, but I'd be up for it next week.

[once he's, uh, recovered a bit.]

River beans aren't high maintenance, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It'll need a lot of water, though.
